Last updated: June 2026
FootballMint ("we", "us") is a real-time football information service. This policy explains what we collect, why, and your choices. We are committed to handling data responsibly and in line with Google AdSense program policies and applicable law.
Information we collect
- Account data (optional): if you sign in, your email address, managed by our authentication provider.
- Usage data: pages viewed and basic device/browser info, used to improve the product.
- Chat content: messages you post in public fan chat rooms.
- Purchase data: if you buy the World Cup Pass, payment is processed by Stripe; we never store full card details.
Advertising & cookies
We show ads through Google AdSense to keep core features free. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on prior visits. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visit to this and other sites. You may opt out of personalized advertising via Google Ad Settings. We restrict ad categories to relevant, family-safe inventory and block sensitive categories (gambling, alcohol, dating/adult, and similar). Premium pass holders see no ads.
How we use data
- To operate live scores, standings, the bracket, chat and personalization.
- To process the optional one-time World Cup Pass purchase.
- To maintain security, prevent abuse and comply with law.
Data sharing
We share data only with service providers that power the site (hosting, database/auth, payments, advertising, analytics) under their respective terms. We do not sell your personal information.
Your choices
- Browse without an account — most features need no sign-in.
- Manage ad personalization via Google Ad Settings.
- Request deletion of your account data by contacting us.
